I was looking forward to going to the South Leeds Stadium but change to Friday night rules it out for me.

That double decker wooden stand behind the sticks was a sight to behold.More like a haunted house with creaking floorboards and spiders cob webs.When Oldham scored i am sure it moved.

Some of our big forwards didn't seem fit enough last season they often struggled to get back onside when defending.

Yes i remember that the dressing rooms were underneath.And a passageway ran through the back so supporters could change ends at half time.Me and my dad stood on the terrace were the corner of the new covered area is .About ten yards from the corner flag it is quite low to pitch level our eyes would be level with the players knees.

Pit winding gear to lower the cage down the shaft.

The one that didn't send me off for a bad high tackle.Away game at Redhill i played under a false name while suspended for 1 game because we were a forward short.

Agree i said 2 years ago i thought he would end up in the second row.Very good centre on defence,i do hope he can give us another couple of years.

With thing moving forward including team rebuild with new and existing players.It has been discussed before but a team song or music to be played when the team enters and leaves the pitch would help create an identity.Look what Sweet Caroline did for Cas when played at the end of the game.Supporters singing along and it really brought the team and fans together.Wigan when they eclipsed most other teams running out to Simply The Best it did work.Or Saints running out to When The Saints Go Marching In.We would have to pick something that resonates with our working class background.Maybe something from Bruce Springsteen.

They used Thrum Hall for the outside ground scenes in This Sporting Life.Wakefield a bit too cramped.I was putting a greyhound into the traps one night and about 40 yards away i could see the players training on the Thrum Hall pitch.

Brad Day signed a three year contract.

I can't divulge but one has supported the club through sponsorship for over 30 years.It is not because he has fallen out with Rovers but he disagrees with IMG and lack of promotion and relegation by the teams efforts on the field.

If Championship clubs get up to a SL teams score the SL team would be stupid not to increase theirs even by fractions it would be enough.

Certainly are.

Quite a variation in ticket prices.Barrow who are building up attendances offer match day Adults £16 and concessions £13.Oldham season tickets early bird £200 and £140 but they are building supporters numbers.Hunslet early bird £150 and £100 also attempting to build crowds.York season tickets Adults £209 concessions £174.Doncaster £149 and £99,Batley £20 match day no concessions £18 if bought early online.Widnes £225 and £190 for North Stand.Broncos £175 can't find any discount for concessions.Fax £225 and £180 main stand seatingSouth stand £198 and £153.Match day £25 and £20 or £22 and £17 other stand behind sticks.Can't find Bradford but they are usually HIGH and Sheffied seem reluctant to openly advertise their ticket prices.On reflection i think Fevrovers (above) suggested prices are fair.I would price them lower at £20 and £16 but i realise we are building a strong squad.Lets hope Martin Vickers brings in another 320k as was suggested last year.But i know a couple of long standing sponsors who have had enough and called it a day.

Yes many a good night in the Greyhound track club with Keith and his mate Malcolm Barker and their wives.After the weekend games some tales would be told in Richardsons pet shop in Cas a few players went in there for a natter.Liked his greyhounds and pigeons did Keith and he was a real character.Could tell a few tales but they were told in confidence so i will pass on them.Fantastic scrum half who knew all the tricks and he would tackle big forwards round the legs all day long.The news has upset me.R,I.P.
